[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1740315, member: 63"] Mr. Butler, I don't want to side track this thread, but I would be interested in discussing your opinion of how E.N. Publishing's presence on this site affects the value of ENWorld to you as a publisher. If you'd be willing to send me an email at [email]RangerWickett@hotmail.com[/email], I'd like to see if we can address your grievances without interfering with E.N. Publishing's business. I certainly wasn't aware that we were stepping on anyone's toes, and if there is a problem, I'd hope we could find a way to please everyone. This same offer of discussion applies to anyone who feels there's any sort of conflict of interest raised by E.N. Pub's presence. On the topic at hand, I'm intrigued by the quarterly ENnies idea. I still heavily am in favor of all the publishers providing pdf samples of their products so that when we have voting people will be able to see what all the competition is. I'm also in favor of, whenever the voting ultimately takes place, giving everyone two votes -- the primary choice gets 1 vote, the secondary choice gets a half vote. This prevents negative ballot-stuffing (which is possible by giving 1s under the current system), and lets people support multiple books if they liked them. So . . . Quarter 1: May to July Quarter 2: August to October Quarter 3: November to January Quarter 4: February to April Vote for judges in April each year. Each quarter, the judges pick one product in each of 12 categories, and these awards are given out without a popular vote, being announced within a month of that quarter's end. Then in June the next year, in each category the four winners from the quarters, plus up to two 'wildcard' or 'merit' or 'lucky' products, go up for popular voting. The results are announced at GenCon, with a big celebration. At GenCon we can add one or two extra categories -- such as best D20 monster, best D20 sprocket, etc. I'm not sure if those would be judge-chosen or popular-vote items. And we might want a peer award, a product that was not a quarterly ENnie winner that is chosen by those who [i]did[/i] win quarterly ENnies. Hmm. It's a thought. This sounds intriguing. Outside the box thinking. Good. But alas, I must sleep now. [/QUOTE]
